Full — Bates Motel

A Five-Season Masterpiece of Slow-Burn Horror

★★★★½ (Essential viewing for psychological horror fans) bates motel full

The series answers the question no one asked but everyone needed: What would it take for a sweet boy to stab a woman in a shower? It is a Shakespearean tragedy dressed in flannel and blood

The answer, as Bates Motel shows in full, is a lifetime of love, secrets, and one mother who couldn’t say goodbye. Bates Motel is a rare feat: a prequel that enhances the original masterpiece rather than diminishing it. It is a Shakespearean tragedy dressed in flannel and blood. For those who commit to the full journey from Pilot to "The Cord," you will never look at a Victorian house on a hill—or a mother’s love—the same way again. Prime Video (purchase)

Available on Peacock, Prime Video (purchase), and DVD/Blu-ray box sets.
